iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

Nope. There will be beta 3 for developers before Apple releases PB at all for beta 3....

Far to many bugs for a PB release. So let’s hope beta 3 shows up sometime this week. :)

You can quote me that PB will show up this weekend. I'm expecting DB3 to come out tomorrow or tuesday and PB on thursday or friday.

Am sure Apple is already working on iOS 12 beta 4 and/or 5 - that's the way software releases are managed.
Here at the company I am working at we usually have a code-freeze (internal testing phase/no further code changes!) 4 weeks ahead of the public release which in my case means go live for all real customers.
In the meantime (freeze period) the next releases are already under development at the same time.

If there is a HUGE issue popping up code fixing is also permitted during the freeze, small issues are postponed for following releases.
If the GPS-issue (which seems to occur for some but not all beta testers) is considered as socalled HUGE issue by Apple, I am sure Apple might implement the GPS-fix from beta 3 or 4 into the public beta build.
If not, no problem :) - Betas should only be deployed on iOS devices dedicated for software development respectively not on your main device.

What makes you think we’re getting a beta this week? It’s almost always two weeks between the first few betas of a major release.

Because Apple said there will be a public beta before July.

With the gps issue it’s possible that could be delayed.

Last year there was just a small update to beta 2 and then the public beta was released later that day. My guess is that the public beta will come out this week, but it won’t be beta 3.

Beta 2 has worked perfectly on my iPhone X. Still can't believe it's a beta. Looking forward to DP3 next week

I will say that Beta 2 is pretty stable. However, I have been having the carplay issue that they talked about in the release notes for Beta 2. It is very finicky and sometimes I have to reboot the phone for it to connect. I also have had problems with the airpods cutting out. Another known problem. Other than that yes it has been very stable.
 
Anyone seeing anything? I am reluctant now to say "see you tomorrow" based on last week's rollout cadence.
